Review

Named after the county where he resided, Merrimack County is also the first Tom Rush album which didn't show any ground gained. It is a little less than what fans would expect, but it is still a fine effort. Perhaps by including mainly originals instead of interpretations of others' tunes, Merrimack County is a bit of a letdown. A minor effort from a major star. ~ James Chrispell, Rovi
